Knowing Who Is Boss
In Lebanon May Save Life
BEIRUT (AP) - You have to
know who's boss where in Leban
on these days.
Many areas of the country's
4.000 square miles are held by
rebel bands who have fought
against the government for nearly
seven weeks. When you enter
those sections, you had better
have the name of the local leader
on the tip of your tongue. Other
wise you run a good risk of being

Lebanese army units recently
evacuated Halba, in the extreme
north. This left all north Lebanon,
from Tripoli on, in rebel hands.
Most of north Lebanon is wild.

lap into Syria, and the rebel guer
rillas easily move back and forth
across the frontier to elude pur
suers or to get supplies and reinforcements.
In the areas nearest the Dort of
Tripoli, the insurgent bands are
loyal to Rashid Karami, former
prime minister who now is a lead
er of the rebellion against Presi
dent Camille Chamoun. To the
East, in the Hermel region, rebels
lonow uruze chiettain Shibli Aryan.
In the fertile Bekaa Valley of
eastern Lebanon, the northern
region is held mainly by bands

ment Sabri Hamadeh.
fanner south, in the moun
tains, is the region held by one
of the most powerful rebel lead
ers, socialist Kamal Jumblatt,
Druze and former minister of
finance. He manages to keep a
corridor open to Rachaya, on the
Syrian frontier, and Syrian Druzes
tend him men and materiel.
South of Jumblatt and inland
from the coast, the dominant lead
er is rebel Ahmed Assaad, anoth
er former speaker of Parliament.
There has been little fighting in
this region, and the line between
government and rebel territory is
indistinct. The government main
tains gendarmerie posts in most
towns and villages and has kept
most of the roads open.
tjovernment forces hold the
main coastal road and the Beirut-
Damascus highway as far as the
Syrian frontier. The government
also has hung onto the chief cities
Beirut, Sidon and Tripoli. But
inside each of these cities, rebel
gangs are holed up in certain sec
tors where they are supreme.
In Beirut, the gangs are loyal
to former Prime Minister Saeb
Salam. In Tripoli, they are Ka
rami s men. In bidon they are
followers of Maarouf Saad,
member of Parliament.
The rebels' plan appears to be
to consolidate their position in the
north, then drive southward in the
Bekaa to link up the northern
bands with Jumblatt's forces
JumblaU's men then would try to
cut the Beirut-Sidon road and pin
government forces into a box
comprising Beirut, Kesrouan and
Metn.
To thwart this strategy, the Leb
anese army has nearly 9,000 men,
reinforced by shipments of light
tanks from America and a few
Vampire jet fighters.
Rebel armed strength is esti
mated at 5.000-6,000, skilled chief
ly in mountain warfare. They lack
aircraft and heavy armament but
are being reinforced steadily with
mortars and field guns from
Syria.
Knight Accuses Leaders
Of Shortchanging State
SACRAMENTO (AP) Gov.
Knight accused the federal gov
ernment today of shortchanging
California on its veterans popula
tion.
Addressing the opening session
of the state American Legion con
vention, he said California has 10
per cent of the nation's veterans
but that Washington won't ad
mit it.
The governor said California has
2,270,000 resident veterans, 200.000
more than the government con
cedes. "To be denied oflicial federal
recognition of this figure means
that we are not getting our de
served share of those allocations
which are based on veteran popu
lation." Knight said in a prepared
fpeech.

The governor said if he is elec

Seek inclusion of a veteran
count in the 1960 census, ask the
president to stop the Budget Bu-
rea s policy of reducing the num
ber of veterans hospital beds, and
favor speeded construction and

Knight also urged the 4,500 dele
gates to support Prop. 1 on the
November ballot a 300 million
dollar bond issue to continue Cal

It would be "added insurance

DALLAS (AP) The Dallas
school board, beset on two sides
and bogged down in a legal mo
rass, said last night its schools
will remain segregated in the
coming school year.
It pointed toward an apparent
conflict between the U. S. Su
preme Court's ruling against
school segregation and Texas in
tegration laws.
"The board is convinced that it
would be a poor service to Dallas
and to the large area of the South
west which may follow the Dallas
lead to undertake the activation
of the Supreme Court decree un
til federal and state courts reach
some legally acceptable unanim
ity of opinion, said the board s
statement.
Edwin C. Washington Jr., who
spoke at the school board meet
ing, was booed when he said ne

Da las branch of the NAACr
He said he was "disappointed
in the board for its seeming delay
in not making a prompt and rea
sonable start (toward integra
tion)."
"It grieves me," he said, that
his two children "will be denied
their rights.'
The Rev. R. E. Davis, who said
he was president of a local White
Citizens Council, said if the board
carries out integration it would be
"aiding and abetting the Supreme
Court in destroying every vestige
Porch Collapses
Killing Woman
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) For
months Mrs. Irene House aired
scatter rugs by hanging them on
a sun porch railing at the rear
of her second-floor duplex apartment.
As she started to drape a rug
over the railing yesterday, the
wooden structure collapsed.
The 31-year-old mother of four
children plunged 18 feet to the
ground, striking a metal pipe. She

of constitutional law and order-
shaking the very pillars of the
Republic.
T he board also authorized its
attorney to start action in stale
courts to solve the legal prob
lems.
This drew criticism from Llovd
S. Riddle, who said he was a
White Citizens Council member.
He objected to what he called the
board s attack on state laws and
declared, "The only thing I can
say for the board is that the
schools are still segregated."
The U. s. 5th Circuit Court of
Appeals July 23, 1957, ordered the
Dallas school district, which has
roughly 115.000 pupils, integrated.
Hut it did not set a deadline.
The Dallas school board con
tends it cannot comply with the
decree without violating a law
passed by the 1956 Texas Legislature.
The -state law says a school dis
trict cannot integrate without ap
proval in a local option election.
If it does, it shall lose state funds
and accreditation and authorities
shall be fined. No such election
has been called by Dallas voters.

the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals

quest for a ruling whether to fol

Credit Curbs
May Return
WASHINGTON AP) Rising
concern over inflation has led
some key administration officials
to consider a revival of standby
consumer credit controls.
Secretary of the Treasury An
derson, it was learned today, is
among those who feel it might be
advisable to ask Congress for
power to regulate down payments
and installment terms on autos
and appliances.
Anderson and others were de
scribed as fearful that the big fed
eral deficits looming ahead
perhaps 10 billion dollars in the
year starting July 1 will help
fuel the flames for inflation unless
the government is alerted and
equipped for fire fighting.
The standby credit authority
idea looks to the period after the
recession. Until then, informants
emphasized, the government will
continue to foster business recov
ery by every means at hand
eluding "easy money" cheap
and ample credit.
Officials want no recurrence of
the pattern which followed the
1953-54 recession. The 1954 upturn
blossomed into 1955's credit-buy
ing binge. That was followed by
a two-year rise in living costs
which hasn t stopped yet and
a sudden business slump.

and a steadily growing population

ICC Slates
Timber Action
WASHINGTON (AP) The In

said today it plans to act prompt
ly in proceedings involving a pro
posal by western railroads to
reduce rates on lumber shipments
from Oregon and California to
California and Arizona.
Ren. Char es O. Porter (D-Ore)
said he was advised by Howard
G. Freas, acting ICC chairman
that the commission plans to rule
promptly on the railroads re
quest that the commission reverse
its order suspending the rale cut
pending an investigation.
Should the suspension be re
versed, Froas said, the cut would
become eflective immediately.
If. on the other hand, the
petition is denied, the proceeding
will be assigned for early hearing.
